[Libreoffice] [PATCH] have git diff treat dictionaries/*.idx|dic|dat as binary

[Sebastian Spaeth]

The git contributor script crunches through repos and invokes git to
gather data. However, the dictionaries are 100k lines of code changes
and git log --numstat literally works for hours on those commits.

All other LO git repos take about 5-10 minutes to
analyze. lib-extern-sys takes about 5 hours!

Treating those dictionaries as binary files has no side-effect other
than that git won't try to show a diff for those commits and
dictionary updater are no longer statistical outliers with 300kLOC
added in our contributor analysis.
